Best Answer

There are small holes in the cell wall that let nutrients, waste, and ions pass through. Those holes are called plasmodesmata. These holes have a problem: water can also be lost. But even when the plant cell loses water, the basic shape is maintained by the cell walls. So if a plant is drooping because it needs water, it can recover when water is added. So its pretty much so it can take in water.

I will not bore you with details....

there are pores simply because a cell needs to import/export packaged proteins and information from one cell to the other.

the proteins are packaged by the Golgi apparatus and shipped out of the cell. Proteins are also taken in either to be used or sometimes modified to perform a new function.

these transfer proteins help objects into a cell, often by active transport. Diffusion, a form of passive transport often uses these too. Water transfer proteins called aquaporins help essential fluids move easily through the water-hating lipid bilayer.

Is protein sythesis a function made by the cell membrane?

No, the site of protein synthesis is the ribosomes, free and bound. The ribosome is the " workbench " on which proteins are made. Proteins can be imbedded in the membrane and can span the membrane.

Golgi apparatus.


Can substances move in and out of the cell membrane?

Yes, how else could the cell live. Cell membranes have structures (holes) in them to allow things to move in and out. These holes are special structures in the membrane and they "control" what goes across the membrane. I have made a link below to a diagram of the cell membrane to show some of these structures.

What parts make up the cell membrane?

Most of the cell membrane are made up of proteins and phospholipids. The phospholipids make up the basic cell body, with tiny holes scattered around. It is not a solid piece. The proteins gather around the tiny holes and help move molecules in and out of the cell.
